Just to give a sense of the insane scale of billions of dollars…MacKenzie Scott got about $38 billion after divorcing Bezos in 2019. She has become the world’s most generous philanthropist, giving away over $19 billion…and she’s currently wealthier than she started.

Just. Tax. Them.

FBI Extracts Suspect’s Deleted Signal Messages Saved in iPhone Notification Database The case was the first time authorities charged people for alleged “Antifa” activities after President Trump designated the umbrella term a terrorist organization.

“The FBI was able to forensically extract copies of incoming Signal messages from a defendant’s iPhone even after the app was deleted because copies of the content were saved in the device’s push notification database”

I honestly think it depends on thre show and whether it has that much story to tell.

But for example - it was baffling to me that the original Netflix Marvel shows were built around PROCEDURAL characters (lawyer, PI, 'heroes for hire') but didnt do procedural episodes (even peppered throughout)

Oh no. Someone close to me had a stroke from hemoglobin going too low that it caused oxygen starvation in part of their brain. I hope you can find someone in your provider network to engage with all the risks involved

#NotAllPublishers 😉

I'd like to add to the freelance discourse an acknowledgement of the fact that many EDITORS / employees at the publishers are also treated very poorly by their corporate leadership - getting massively overworked, underpaid, and forced to be the face / voice of business decisions they hate

If I were single and had to handle my own insurance, I would have had to leave writing years ago when I developed chronic medical conditions

That was a devastating couple years 10+ years into a full time writing career that made me realize the industry I love feels too little responsibility to the people making the books.

I moved to 50/50 freelance + a separate career I find meaningful, with stable pay.

PLUS: spouse gets our med ins.

I was full time writing for years, until multiple publishers, overlappingly, started delaying payments by months / taking months longer to move projects forward than they had me schedule for / cancelled projects that were contracted mid-process (because they lost rights or had leadership change)

WTF. I thought this meme was satire. It is not. It is a verbatim quote. This is Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council. He is Trump's chief economic advisor. He was responding to interview questions from CNBC journalists.

This is not at all breaking news at all and many have pointed out as such but this is also the key reason why many folks will not partake of your Substacks (because it is hosted at THE Nazi bar)
